Obama's Devastating Defense Cuts Detailed.....
And this Administration thinks it's a Game...."Games" are played on Sunday afternoon between the uprights....not with our National Security....
President Obama’s Administration Was Behind The Idea Of “Massive Defense Cuts.” “The book ‘The Price of Politics,’ by Washington Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward, makes it clear the idea for the draconian spending cuts originated in the White House – and not in Congress. According to the book, excerpts of which were obtained by POLITICO ahead of the Sept. 11 release, President Barack Obama’s top deputies believed the prospect of massive defense cuts would compel Republicans to agree to a deficit-cutting grand bargain.

Obama vs. the First Amendment ......
Excellent read....especially when he states..."We need a President of the United States, a job that has never suited, and has never been of much interest to, Barack Obama."
That sums everything up brilliantly! Democrats and their sharky Obamedia defense lawyers are in a snit. For three dreamy convention days in Charlotte, they told themselves that, for the first time in decades, it was their guy who had the upper hand when it came to national security. Now that bubble has burst, the way contrived narratives do when they crash into concrete challenges. At that point, an airy president of the world won’t do; we need to have a president of the United States, a job that has never suited, and has never been of much interest to, Barack Obama.
Gun Sales Hinge on Obama Re-Election .....
The Sidney, Neb.-based retailer and other companies in the guns-and-ammo business say if Mr. Obama wins a second term they are preparing for a surge in sales—the same as they saw after he was elected in 2008—from buyers fearful the president would back policies to make buying a gun more difficult. If Republican challenger Mitt Romney wins, though, the chain plans to stock more items such as waterproof boots and camouflage hunting gear.
Obama’s ‘proud’ statements on changing US image may backfire ....
"If we are nice to them....they'll be nice to us"...I've heard this said in one form or another since Obama came into Office from he and his minions......how's this working out for us?
In February, Obama said, “One of the proudest things of my three years in office is helping to restore a sense of respect for America around the world, a belief that we are not just defined by the size of our military.”
Three years ago in Cairo, Obama stressed his leadership would be dramatically different than former President George W. Bush’s: “I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition.”

The Video Didn’t Do It .......
I am so sick of our "Leaders" and those in Government treating us like morons. Every day I listen to the pablum they spew....in the guise of "explanations"...and I wonder how many they think believe this tripe? And...what worries me more is...How many DO believe the nonsense coming from the White House.....Have we lost already...?
I think not. Carney’s comments lie outside the range of plausible spin, even by Obama administration standards, and if his bosses believe them—as we fear they do—are simply delusional. But they are not without consequence. Nor are Gates’s and Dempsey’s phone calls. They all send the message to America’s enemies that if you kill our diplomats and lay siege to the our embassies, the first move the American government will make is to denounce . . . Americans.

The Problem With Obama's Polls.....
Do not let these polls fool you. In 1980 similar polls showed Jimmy Carter leading the Old Cowboy almost to the very end. Carter was ahead of Governor Ronald Reagan by 4 points in late September, by 8 points in October, and the Gallup polls had him ahead of Reagan by 6 points in last days of the election. Reagan won by 9 points, sweeping 44 states. In 1988 Governor Dukakis at one point led Vice President George H. W. Bush by 17 points. He lost by almost 8 points.

Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson “did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,” according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs spotted by Nightwatch. “She neutralized any U.S. military capability that was dedicated to preserve her life and protect the US Embassy.”

Tierney launches first TV ad ....
Richard is a good and decent man. He is responsive to people's requests......in a way Tierney couldn't begin to do. If you look up the definition of an "Empty Suit"...I wouldn't be surprised to see a photo of John Tierney.
Tisei responded to the ad by urging voters in Massachusetts' 6th Congressional District to "consider the source" of the ad and examine his opponent's record in Congress.
"All John Tierney has to offer the voters is fear itself," Tisei said in a statement. Tierney has been targeted by GOP leaders as being perhaps the most politically vulnerable of the state's all-Democratic House delegation, as the incumbent faces claims that he had knowledge of the illegal nature of a gambling venture being operated by his two brothers-in-law in the Caribbean.

Experts Say They Know the REAL Reason for U.S. Embassy Attacks in Egypt & Libya......
Islamists claim their bloody siege of the U.S. Embassies in Cairo and Benghazi on the eleventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks was catalyzed by an “anti-Islam” movie
Experts say the real reason for the onslaught was not a movie mocking Islam, but part of a concerted “ten year plan” to make slandering Islam unlawful on an international scale
U.S. administration’s hair-trigger reaction was to first apologize for offending Islam, rather than meet fire with fire over the act of war on U.S. soil
A contingent of the Islamists waging the attacks were the very “rebels” America aided in the Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt and Libya

Billboard Migrates To Bumpers: "The Seals Removed One Threat to America, Remove The Other in November".......
VOTE!!!!
A North Texas billboard that garnered national attention for its election message, is expanding from the side of local highway, to highways across the nation. It’s moved off the board to bumper stickers, and even t-shirts, after reports about the ad spread across the internet.
“There was a guy called from Tennessee, one from San Diego, one from Oklahoma,” said Tom Schad, the Gainesville man who originally paid for the ad along I-35.

'Romney Offends the Pundits' .....
Good! keep it going Mitt....because he is STILL not standing up for the Country!
The Weekly Standard: The Obama Presidential campaign jumped on the remarks Wednesday as inappropriate, yet a "senior Administration official" had told the website Politico later on Tuesday night that "The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government." So the White House can walk away from its own diplomats, but Mr. Romney can't criticize them?

2004 FLASHBACK: Kerry Slams Bush Same Day Seven Servicemen Killed In Iraq......
In the wake of a overseas tragedy, in 2004, Kerry not only had no problem with the idea of publicly hammering a president for what was perceived as a foreign policy blunder, he was the one doing the hammering.
But now that's wrong, you know, because Barack.
So who's playing politics here?
That would be Barack Obama and his utterly shameless media minions.

Their goal was to make sure that no question would address the substance of the crisis but instead put Romney on the defensive about made-up mistakes in his criticism of President Obama.
In the event, six out of the seven questions were almost exactly the same, all questioning Romney for his supposed mistake. (Romney handled the questions very well.)

“Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made extemporaneous partisan remarks in a speech delivered in her official capacity on February 25, 2012,” the news release from the U.S. Office of Special Council states.

In response to the attack in Cairo, diplomats there condemned not the attackers but those who "hurt the religious feelings of Muslims." The president appeared in the Rose Garden less than 24 hours later to condemn the Libya assault and failed even to mention the attack in Egypt. The message sent to radicals throughout the region: If you assault an American embassy but don't kill anyone, the U.S. president won't complain.

But the media wanted to focus on Mitt Romney.
Yesterday, the media spent much time condemning the Coptic Christians for their movie, but we now know the movie had been out for months and we also know the riots were orchestrated in advance. We also know the attack on the American consulate in Libya used the riots as cover for the attack.

“The administration has repeatedly put its partisan agenda above the rule of law,” committee chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said. “In doing so, it has eroded the constitutional and legal foundation that have kept America prosperous and free for over 200 years.”
Smith enumerated other instances of alleged presidential overreach, including Obama’s decision to stop enforcing parts of U.S. immigration law to allow illegal aliens to stay in the country legally if they meet certain criteria and waivers issued to the No Child Left Behind Act and welfare reform bill that Smith said “effectively rewrite the law instead of enforcing it.”

Morsi had requested the mission take "all legal measures", the MENA agency said, without giving further details on what that might involve. (Reuters)

The Plot Thickens......
It makes me wonder if they have any explicit or implicit mission statement. For example, is it, "My mission as a journalist is to choose a political candidate and then select and slant what I report so as to help him/her get into office." Or possibly, "My mission as a journalist/reporter is to show my like-minded colleagues that I'm one of them." I simply cannot conceive what they perceive their professional responsibilities to be. It apparently never enters their minds.
Clinton Myths ....
President Clinton happily takes credit for reducing America's budget deficit and presiding over a period of strong economic growth. But this happened not because of wise leadership. Clinton had the good fortune to reside in the White House just as the high-tech information revolution kicked in and a Republican Congress stopped him from spending what Democrats wanted to spend.
Progressives say that his increase of the top tax bracket did not prevent economic growth, but it never occurs to them that growth would have been even stronger had government not confiscated that money.
Sadly, most who watched St. Bill at the DNC will never know the truth.

GAO focuses on two programs, unemployment insurance (UI) and disability insurance (DI), and the “double dippers” who collect payments from both.

Traditionally, most private businesses have defined "full time employee" as someone who works 40 hours a week. With this new regulation, the federal government is now removing the right of businesses to define "full time employee" as they deem appropriate for their unique conditions.

If I were Michael Moore and I were to make a film that was the No. 2 political documentary of all time, I would be on every network. I would be on Meet The Press, and I would be profiled in The New York Times, and I would be all over MSNBC. Instead large sectors of the press are refusing to cover the film. They are just pretending it doesn’t exist.

FAA Honors 9-11: ‘WEEEE,’ ‘WLLLL,’ ‘NEVVR,’ ‘FORGT’ ‘SEP11’....
Pretty cool.....
An FAA spokesman told CNSNews.com that although the public may not be aware of the waypoints’ names, the pilots will be.
“Pilots are intensely aware of where they are at all times,” the spokesman said. “So while they might not make verbal reference to them, they will be acutely aware that they are passing through these waypoints.”

Politico's Harris & VandeHei Launch Pro-Obama Rampage To Kill Romney Off.....
On Saturday, Politico launched The Inevitability Narrative, citing -- per the Politico norm -- unnamed sources in the Romney campaign who all but said: Bring out your dead; Ohio is lost! Bring out your dead; Ohio is lost! And of course, if Romney can't win Ohio, he can't win the presidency.
Have you ever noticed which unnamed Romney advisors these Politico cretins always quote? Yeah, it's always the Bring out your deaders!

9/11: A Clinton Legacy
In my previous post...I asked how Clinton went unscathed for his security lapse regarding 9/11/2001..... guess he didn't.....
It seems only fair, then, to remind the American public that not only does Obama skip most of his daily intelligence briefings, but also that the Clinton administration bears some of the blame for allowing 9/11 to happen. The 9/11 commission identified several Clinton failures, including four missed chances to kill Osama bin Laden, and a failure to adopt “a more aggressive counterterrorism posture” after Al Qaeda’s initial attacks.

Obama Misses Over Half His Intelligence Briefings....
If true...someone tell the NYT? They blamed today ( well, everyday...) on GWB....and how did Clinton go unscathed ?
The Government Accountability Institute, a new conservative investigative research organization, examined President Obama’s schedule from the day he took office until mid-June 2012, to see how often he attended his Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) — the meeting at which he is briefed on the most critical intelligence threats to the country. During his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his PDB just 536 times — or 43.8 percent of the time. During 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance became even less frequent — falling to just over 38 percent.

The Chevy Volt: Another Obama Green Investment Loses a Billion ..........
The Chevy Volt costs close to $90,000 to manufacture while it retails for $40,000 according to information gathered by Reuters.
“Nearly two years after the introduction of the path-breaking plug-in hybrid,” writes Reuters, “GM is still losing as much as $49,000 on each Volt it builds, according to estimates provided to Reuters by industry analysts and manufacturing experts.”

George W. Bush's Address to Congress After 9/11 ....
In the normal course of events, Presidents come to this chamber to report on the state of the Union. Tonight, no such report is needed. It has already been delivered by the American people.
We have seen it in the courage of passengers, who rushed terrorists to save others on the ground -- passengers like an exceptional man named Todd Beamer. And would you please help me to welcome his wife, Lisa Beamer, here tonight. We have seen the state of our Union in the endurance of rescuers, working past exhaustion. We've seen the unfurling of flags, the lighting of candles, the giving of blood, the saying of prayers -- in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. We have seen the decency of a loving and giving people who have made the grief of strangers their own. My fellow citizens, for the last nine days, the entire world has seen for itself the state of our Union -- and it is strong.

Chicago thuggery personified: Meet Chicago Teachers’ Union president Karen Lewis.....
This is the woman leading the walkout of 26,000 public school teachers in Chicago. Karen Lewis, head of the Chicago Teachers’ Union, is a loud-mouthed “social justice” radical whose Big Labor racket would rather abandon 350,000 children to the streets than accept merit-based pay, teacher evaluations, and a 16 percent pay raise. The school board had already caved considerably on the union’s demands, but as the Chicago Sun-Times put it: “From the get-go, the union seemed intent on striking.”

An Economic 'Plan'?
Former president Bill Clinton told the Democratic National Convention that Barack Obama has a plan to rescue the economy, and only the fact that the Republicans stood in his way has stopped him from getting the economy out of the doldrums.
NEVER FORGET....9/11/01
On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed on America’s worst day of terrorism as 19 al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four passenger jetliners. Two planes smashed into New York’s World Trade Center, causing the twin towers to fall; one plowed into the Pentagon; and the fourth crashed into a field in western Pennsylvania.

GHEI: ATF's latest gun grab....
Another power grab from the "Party of the People".....
The Obama administration is making it easier for bureaucrats to take away guns without offering the accused any realistic due process. In a final rule published last week, the Justice Department granted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) authority to “seize and administratively forfeit property involved in controlled-substance abuses.” That means government can grab firearms and other property from someone who has never been convicted or even charged with any crime.

Strassel: The Party that Obama Un-Built.....
Well framed...and without name calling! Who knew!?
It took Mr. Obama two years to destroy this potential, with an agenda that forced his party to field vote after debilitating vote—stimulus, ObamaCare, spending, climate change. The public backlash, combined with the president's mismanagement of the economy, has reversed Democrats' electoral gains and left a party smaller than at any time since the mid-1990s.

The Democrats' Soft Extremism .....
I think what this wing of their Party represents is unsettling at the very least....
The fight over including a single mention of God in the platform—that was extreme. The original removal of the single mention by the platform committee—extreme. The huge "No!" vote on restoring the mention of God, and including the administration's own stand on Jerusalem—that wasn't liberal, it was extreme. Comparing the Republicans to Nazis—extreme. The almost complete absence of a call to help education by facing down the powers that throw our least defended children under the school bus—this was extreme, not mainstream.

President Obama Regrets Syntax of You ‘Didn’t Build That’.......
WE DID BUILD THIS, DAMN IT!
Perhaps because he has been attacked for his Elizabeth Warren-inspired speech by both the GOP and small business owners, the president finally decided that it was time to admit that maybe, just maybe, it didn’t sound too good.

I have to say....she's probably got a bigger pair than most of the men there....
THIS from a woman who cheats her way into a cushy job at Harvard and receives over $300/M a year for "teaching" ONE class.....
Congrats - however I'd say YOU ARE part of THAT problem...
And then starts the "You didn't build that" firestorm....NOW she tries to back track...??!!!!
How STUPID do they think we all are - HOW STUPID do you actually think we are....?
Come down off your pedestals and you'll find out......
“(F)or many years now, our middle class has been chipped, squeezed and hammered,” Warren said. “Talk to the construction worker I met from Malden, Massachusetts, who went nine months without finding work. Talk to the head of a manufacturing company in Franklin trying to protect jobs but worried about rising costs. Talk to the student in Worcester who worked hard to finish his degree, and now he’s drowning in debt. Their fight is my fight, and it’s Barack Obama’s fight too.”

Runaway slaves and the rise of the black conservative ......
I will NEVER understand the blind loyalty the minorities seem to have for the democratic party. I certainly don't think these folks are stupid.....however this blind devotion mystifies me....Per the facts:
"Consider that almost a half-century ago, President Johnson thought he could eradicate American poverty by declaring a war on it. Despite the effort, the poor stubbornly remain with us. The poverty rate is at 15.1% and climbing, says the Cato Institute's Michael Tanner, while in 1964, when the war started, it was "around 19% and falling rapidly."
Since Johnson's initiative, Tanner says Washington has "spent roughly $12 trillion fighting poverty, and state and local governments added another $3 trillion," a total that is close to the size of today's domestic economy. "Yet the poverty rate never fell below 10.5%," says Tanner, "and is now at the highest level in nearly a decade."
They say Hope is a stronger and a more dangerous emotion than fear....yet the Democrats spend their lives tossing fear at every issue and in turn...destroying any hope for those they profess to want to help.
I think in reality THEY fear hope more than most....because to give one hope....is to begin the upward pendulum....and perhaps open the eyes of their currently blind voters.....
It’s been a week since MSNBC cleansed its broadcast of the Republican National Convention. If you happened to watch the RNC on Chris Matthews’ network last Tuesday, you missed the speeches of Senate candidate Ted Cruz, former Congressman Artur Davis, Puerto Rico first lady Luce Vela Fortuno, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval and congressional candidate Mia Love. Why were these intelligent, accomplished Republican leaders scrubbed from the broadcast?
Because they aren’t white.

An Iraq War Every Year....
If we go by the percent of GDP, it's a close call. If we want to play it safe for the fact-checkers, we might have to say that the difference between Obama's and Bush's spending was merely the cost of the Iraq "Combat Mission," or merely the total cost of the Iraq War through Bush's presidency. If that makes fact-checkers feel better, I could do that. But for now, I stand by my statement above.

Paul Ryan Supports Prayer in Public Schools....

I remember ( 45 years ago ) kids voluntarily NOT saying the morning prayers and also not saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
I did not agree even at that age...but respected their right. I do again today.
But even though I am a totally lapsed Catholic with no intention of returning there....I believe one of the things missing in this Country's soul is the presence of God in our lives.... let the States decide.
The Wisconsin congressman addressed the issue during a brief stop inside a Republican volunteer center in Provo, Utah. He was in the state to attend a fundraiser.
Asked by a volunteer whether he supported giving states the right to allow “prayer or pledge” in schools, Ryan said he did.
“That’s a constitutional issue of the states, moral responsibility of parents, education,” Ryan continued.

Coulter: Matthews a few race cards short of a full deck.....
I breifly met Chris Matthews in NH at a Rudy Giuliani appearance during the 2008 ( I think ) election.
He came into the hall and wondered at our sanity for standing there waiting for Rudy. However, he was funny, kind to the kids there and generally very nice to all.
He later reappeared when Rudy was speaking - again, very pleasant...though very perplexed at our joy at seeing and listening to America's Mayor.
I think that look of confusion has since manifested itself intooutright Moonbattism.
However...he is STILL funny...just not in the way he intends, I'm sure.....
Guest John Heilemann, like an orderly in a mental institution trapped alone with a patient, played along, responding, “Well, there’s a lot of black people in Chicago” — while frantically jabbing at the alarm button.
For the love of Pete, can’t we all acknowledge that a reference to “Chicago” in this context manifestly refers to corrupt, big-city, machine politics and 1920s gangsterism — not race? No one thinks Al Capone was an African-American.

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SECRETARY KATHLEEN SEBELIUS: "Instead of sending your checks to your insurance companies, your insurance companies are sending a check to you. ...If you already have health insurance you like, you can keep it."
THE FACTS: Under the new health care law, insurers must issue rebates if they fail to spend at least 80 percent of premiums - Sebelius incorrectly said 50 percent - collected on medical care and quality improvement. But mostly it's the employer, not the worker, who gets the check.

Egyptian cleric Abd Al-Rahman Explains When Islam Instructs Men to Beat Their Wives.....
Uh.....nope.....LOVE my Husband....don't think so......this is what's going on while the Dems tell us how much better off we are than 4 years ago..................as Charlie Brown would say....GOOD GRIEF!....
Egyptian cleric Abd Al-Rahman recently went on Al-Nas television to explain that men are “instructed” to beat their wives under Islam as a last resort before divorce, partly to show her that she is beneath her husband.
“A good woman, even if beaten by her husband, puts her hand in his and says: ‘I will not rest until you are pleased with me.’ This is how the Prophet Muhammad taught his women to be,” Al-Rahman said on the television in a segment aired in August, according to a translation provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

The Obama campaign has taken to a new slogan: "Osama bin Laden is dead. GM is alive." I believe this was first coined by Joe Biden, so that tells you something right there.
If the Obama campaign wants to open the door, I say we take the bait and walk through.

Surprise: Elizabeth Warren Refuses to Explain Heritage Claims at the DNC.......
As an obligatory follow-up to my post earlier today, it appears US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is steadfastly refusing to confirm or deny allegations she purposefully lied about her ethnic heritage in order to bolster her academic career. The Boston Herald reports:
Elizabeth Warren, scrambling to shift focus from her ongoing Cherokee scandal, dismissed demands from Native Americans who want her to explain her heritage claims in her first appearance at the Democratic National Convention this morning.
“I’ve answered those questions, what I’m here to talk about (is) what’s happening to America’s working class families,” said Warren, who had just completed brief appearances on the “Today Show” before the prime-time speech tomorrow.

Mitt Romney vs. Deval Patrick on Jobs.
In January 2003 the month Mitt Romney took office Massachusetts, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics had 3,223,000 jobs. In January of 2007 the last month of Mitt Romney's governorship the Commonwealth of Massachusetts had 3,272,000 jobs. That is a net job growth of 49,000 jobs. Romney took office in the midst of the worst jobs recession ever in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
When Deval Patrick took office in January of 2007 Massachusetts had 3,272,000 jobs. In July of 2012 Massachusetts has 3,249,000 jobs. That is a net loss of 23,000 jobs.
Mitt Romney grew jobs taking office during the worst jobs recession in Massachusetts history, Deval Patrick has lost a net 23,000 jobs. Those are the facts. Facts don't lie.

Obama’s Big Afghanistan Lie......
There are soooooooooooooooooooooo many - where does one start....?........OK...I'll start here......
David Plouffe, Obama’s former campaign manager and current senior advisor, claimed this week that the Romney campaign is built “on a foundation of absolute lies.” Speaking of absolute lies, there is the lie being put out that the War in Afghanistan has been won by the Obama administration.

DNC ad touches the Unholy Grail of anti-Constitutional thought.....
I heard this line on the news while I scrambled to get to my Plant...the one...ya know....that one "we didn't build".....and I stopped dead in my tracks.
If this doesn't encapsulate the difference in the two parties....nothing does.
I don't even know if I could call it the difference in the Parties, as much as a difference in our way of thinking. There are those of us who want the Government to GO AWAY....get out of my wallet....house, kitchen, car, cell phone, business, Church, sports arenas...
And then those who want that little government Tinkerbell floating around every move they make.
Pull yourself up by the boot strap mentality versus "Mother Russia" style all encompassing Big Brother....
Thomas Jefferson....yup...one of those "old pasty white guys" who wrote that pesky Constitution had so many great quotes....but I thought of this one this morning upon hearing the DNC beliefs laid bare last night...
"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."
Amen.....
Woops...I forgot....while the DNC Convention goes on - God goes out.......
The punch line is: "The government is the only thing we all belong to." (Forget about ending a sentence with a preposition.)
The degree to which that one simple sentence stands the U.S. Constitution on its head should take our breath away.
We, the people, do not belong to the government. The government belongs to us.

Debt tops $16 trillion.....
Let the Convention begin!!!!!!!
Debt has risen at a meteoric pace under Mr. Obama — in less than four years in office he has already eclipsed President George W. Bush's eight years. His advisers say he has a "plausible" plan to stabilize the debt, but defend his spending plans, saying to withdraw government stimulus now would hurt the economic recovery.

Federal Cuts Threaten Live Taps At Long Island Military Funerals.....
With ALL the waste and stupidity going on in Government and DC every day....THIS is what they decide to cut?!
When you go to a military funeral at Calverton National Cemetery or Pinelawn National Cemetery on Long Island, you expect to hear Taps performed live.
However, with federal funding being cut, they may have to switch to a recording as opposed to a live tribute.

Democrats Air Frustrations with Obama 'Cockiness'.....
He has mentioned more than once in recent weeks that he cooks “a really mean chili.” He has impressive musical pitch, he told an Iowa audience. He is “a surprisingly good pool player,” he informed an interviewer — not to mention (though he does) a doodler of unusual skill.
The article reports Obama's associates characterize this bluster and political zeal as "cockiness." Further, Washington Democrats say he is all too eager to offer unsolicited advice -- on handshakes, writing, and parenting, among other topics.

Illegal Immigrant 'Undocu-Bus' Rolls Into Charlotte For DNC....
I guess obedience to our "laws" only apply to American CITIZENS.....
Emboldened by President Barack Obama's executive action that allows some illegal immigrants to apply for work permits, a group of illegal immigrants on the "Undocu-Bus" arrived in Charlotte during the week of the Democratic National Convention to advocate for broader amnesty programs.

The Democrats' Faulty Memory.....
But this is not Obama's problem, or at least it was not the problem during the first two years of Obama's term, when Democrats controlled the House of Representatives and had a nearly filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. During that period, Obama practically had carte blanche to do as he pleased, and what did he do? Bailouts and stimulus and health-care and -- more than anything else -- massive deficit spending.

Once again, Ben Stein kills it.....
Yes, he did get a universal health care law passed. But Mr. Nixon proposed a much more comprehensive, much more comprehensible plan in 1973! FORTY YEARS AGO!!!! Is Mr. Obama bragging that he finished something Nixon started four decades ago? I wrote that message to Congress for RN. The Democrats killed the bill. BAM! Dead on Arrival on Capitol Hill. Killed by Teddy's spite.

Democrats set to move Obama's big speech from 74,000-seater outdoor stadium to 20,000-seater indoor arena ....
Democrats are poised to avoid the danger of President Barack Obama accepting his party’s nomination before a partially-empty stadium by shifting his speech to an indoor arena and citing ‘severe weather’.
The Obama campaign have been working desperately to ensure that the 74,000-seater Bank of America stadium in Charlotte would be filled.
Buses for students from across North Carolina and even members of black churches in neighboring South Carolina have been arranged.

A record 46.7 million Americans received food stamps in June, up 0.4 percent from the previous month, the government said.
Participation was 3.3 percent higher than a year earlier and has remained higher than 46 million all year as the unemployment rate has stagnated just above 8 percent. New jobless numbers will be released Sept. 7.

Steve Jobs's dire legacy: Devastating bad taste....
Android, after all, is guilty at worst of nothing more than the sort of behaviour that Jobs himself once gloried in — back in the days before he had nukes.
Yet he pushed the button. He may have been comfortable with the consequences for consumers, for the economy, for the ecosystems that drive innovation, of closing down competition.
The rest of us may think differently.

Chart: Medicare Spending Is Main Cause of Runaway Deficits.....
Out-of-control entitlement spending contributes directly to long-term federal deficits, which will accelerate over the course of the next few decades, according to Heritage’s Federal Budget in Pictures and figures provided by the Congressional Budget Office.
By 2030, Medicare alone will surpass other entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicaid and Obamacare. Before 2050, Medicare will exceed all other non-interest spending portions of the federal deficit. The program’s expansion will continue as more and more Baby Boomers retire and the U.S. population ages.

Obama's Dreams - Thomas Sowell .......
After reading Barack Obama's book "Dreams from My Father," it became painfully clear that he has not been searching for the truth, because he assumed from an early age that he had already found the truth -- and now it was just a question of filling in the details and deciding how to change things.
Obama did not simply happen to encounter a lot of people on the far left fringe during his life. As he spells out in his book, he actively sought out such people. There is no hint of the slightest curiosity on his part about other visions of the world that might be weighed against the vision he had seized upon.

President Obama Issues Executive Order on Carbon Emissions and Industrial Efficiency.....
Another "Law" of unintended consequences...only this one could break what's left of our economic back.....
Sure, it sounds nice and (like most things in this administration) it promises a great return on investment, but are there any possible downsides to this executive order?
“This is a fiat from on high for these utilities to change the way they process energy — an enormous capital expense and many of them are going to close down,” Levin argued. “And they only have eight years to do it as part of this ‘cap-and-trade,‘ ’green’ energy, ‘climate change’ bull crap.”
“You’re going to see your bills go up, up, and up some more. And you’re going to see brownouts and one day blackouts,” he added.

Paul Ryan Was Right on Obama’s GM Plant Abandonment ......
This is NOTHING compared to what the DNC Convention is going to whip up.....
The trouble is that Ryan never claimed in his acceptance speech that the Janesville plant closed on Obama’s watch, even though in point of fact it technically did. Cars were still being produced there during the spring of 2009. Ryan’s point was that the Obama campaign had demagogued the anticipated closing and made a promise to keep the plant open with government help – a promise President Obama bailed out on after taking office.

The Assault on Paul Ryan II ....
Here’s the funny thing about most of these articles: They fail to cite a single fact that Ryan misstated or lie that he told. In most cases, the self-described fact-checks are little more than complaints that Ryan failed to provide context for his criticism of Barack Obama. For example, virtually every one of these articles included a complaint about Ryan’s comments on Obama and entitlement reform. In accusing Obama of failing to lead on entitlements, Ryan noted that Obama had ignored the findings of the Simpson-Bowles Commission that the president himself had empaneled. The complaint: Ryan did not mention that he had served on the commission and voted against its findings.
Big California Dem. Compares Paul Ryan to Nazi Joseph Goebbels......

Greetings from the California delegation breakfast at the DNC where before he had a cup of coffee Democratic Party Chair John Burton – much like his ol’ palGuv Jerry Brown once did – just compared the Republicans to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, for “telling the big lie,” a reference to several falsehoods GOP VP nominee Paul Ryan recently told.
“They lie and they don’t care if people think they lie… Joseph Goebbels – it’s the big lie, you keep repeating it,” Burton said Monday before the Blake Hotel breakfast. He said Ryan told “a bold-faced lie and he doesn’t care that it was a lie. That was Goebbels, the big lie.”

Chuck Norris’ dire warning for America.....
These quotes say it all.......
Chuck recalled the cautionary words of great patriots on the subject of preserving liberty:
“As Edmund Burke said, ‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (and women) to do nothing.’
“Our great president, Ronald Reagan said, ‘Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same.’”

‘No Easy Day’ by Mark Owen Tells of SEAL Raid on Bin Laden .....
I ordered it...did you?
These distortions seemed funny at first. But “Mark Owen” (the pseudonym of one gutsy, transgressive member of the SEALs, who served 13 consecutive combat deployments) began to want to set the record straight. He hoped to deliver firsthand a visceral and often surprising version of the bin Laden raid and other SEAL stories. The emphasis of his “No Easy Day,” written with Kevin Maurer, is not on spilling secrets. It is on explaining a SEAL’s rigorous mind-set and showing how that toughness is created.
